That light comes on when your brake pad wear sensor is activated. Means you need new brake pads or the wire has been damaged somehow. The sensors are on the driverside front and passenger side rear if I remember correctly.

haha that explains a lot actually ... i always thought that, that was the air pressure light(didnt actually no if it had one or not but it did make sence) ... i thought the brake pad sesnor light came on and just said "brake"

There are som many comoponents to braking now, a light that says "brake" is not very descriptive.
So all four pictured are brake related, ergo they carry the same base symbol.
E.g., ABS fault, pads, braking fault and park.
